<strong>Introduction</strong> <strong>to</strong><br />

<strong>IEC</strong> <strong>61850</strong><br />

Object Model<br />

The <strong>IEC</strong> <strong>61850</strong> object model is <strong>the</strong> centerpiece of <strong>the</strong> standard.<br />

It relies on application know-how of <strong>the</strong> standards group.<br />

The model is used for:<br />

- system verification (“virtual maximum size substation”)<br />

- engineering of a particular substation<br />

- allocation of functions <strong>to</strong> devices in that substation<br />

- configuration of <strong>the</strong> real devices (IEDs and SCADA) and real network<br />

- testing and debugging<br />

The object model is implemented:<br />

-a) in <strong>the</strong> engineering <strong>to</strong>ols (<strong>to</strong>tal substation)<br />

-b) in <strong>the</strong> SCADA (relevant parts of substation)<br />

-c) in <strong>the</strong> devices (only local functions, need-<strong>to</strong>-know)<br />
